The present invention is related to new substituted pyrrolidine derivatives of formula (I). Said compounds are preferably for use as pharmaceutically active compounds. Specifically, pyrrolidine derivatives of formula (I) are useful in the treatment and/or prevention of neurodegenerative disorders, diseases associated with polygultamine tracts, epilepsy, ischemia, infertility, cardiovascular disorders renal hypoxia, hepatitis and AIDS. Said pyrrolidine derivatives display a modulatory and most notably a down-regulating-up to an inhibitory-activity with respect to the cellular death agonist Bax and/or the activation pathways leading to Bax and allows therefore to block the release of cytochrome (c). The present invention is furthermore related to novel pharmaceutically activity substituted pyrrolidine derivatives as well as to methods of their preparation, wherein X is selected from the group consisting of O, S, CR<6>R<7>, NOR<6>, NNR<6>R<7>; A is selected from the group consisting of —(C═O)—, —(C═O)—O—, —C(═NH)—, —(C═O)—NH—, —(C═S)—NH, —SO2—, —SO2NH—; —CH2—; B is either a group —(C═O)—NR<8>R<9> or represents a heterocyclic residue having the formula (II) wherein Q is NR<10>, O or S; n is an integer selected of 0, 1 or 2; Y, Z and E form together with the 2 carbons to which they are attached a 5–6 membered aryl or heteroaryl ring.
本发明涉及一种新的取代吡咯烷衍生物,其化学式为(I)。所述化合物适用于作为药物活性化合物。具体而言,化学式(I)的吡咯烷衍生物在治疗和/或预防神经退行性疾病、与多聚谷氨酸链相关的疾病、癫痫、缺血、不孕症、心血管疾病、肾脏缺氧、肝炎和艾滋病方面具有用途。所述吡咯烷衍生物显示出对细胞死亡促进剂Bax和/或导致Bax激活通路的调节作用,尤其是下调作用,甚至具有抑制作用,因此可以阻止细胞色素(c)的释放。本发明还涉及新的药物活性取代吡咯烷衍生物以及它们的制备方法,其中X选自O、S、CR<6>R<7>、NOR<6>、NNR<6>R<7>组成的群;A选自—(C═O)—、—(C═O)—O—、—C(═NH)—、—(C═O)—NH—、—(C═S)—NH、—SO2—、—SO2NH—;—CH2—;B是一个—(C═O)—NR<8>R<9>基团或代表具有式(II)的杂环残基,其中Q为NR<10>、O或S;n是选自0、1或2的整数;Y、Z和E与它们连接的两个碳原子一起形成一个5-6环芳基或杂环芳基。
